流星映日而赤色，向日流者，天下不安，帝王易位，人主崩亡，百姓逃竄，九州荒蕪。流星映日，前銳後方者，王者被大臣殺，後宮大亂，天下振動，日月無光，人民大疫，天下半死。

A falling star appearing red and shining alongside the sun, moving towards the sun, indicates turmoil throughout the realm, the emperor changing his position, the monarch dying, and the people scattering and fleeing, leaving the nine provinces in desolation. If the falling star appears red and shines alongside the sun, with a sharp front and a square end, it signifies the king being killed by his ministers, chaos in the palace, great disturbances throughout the land, the sun and moon losing their light, a great plague among the people, and half the population dying.

流星前赤後白，夕見者，大臣欲謀國，陰發使。流星晝見，竟天陰者，陰有謀臣，欲奪國政，誅殺賢良，遠期一年，中期二百日，下期一百日，必然也。

A meteor appearing in the evening with a red front and white rear indicates that ministers are plotting to seize power, secretly sending envoys. If a meteor appears in daylight, spanning the sky with a dark color, it signifies that there are secret conspirators aiming to take control of the state and eliminate the virtuous. The occurrence will definitely happen within a year, two hundred days, or one hundred days, depending on the situation.

流星夕墜，光耀天者，所墜分野有大兵起。一云：有霸王出，流血為災。一云：所墜分野，大疫為災。流星六七，一時晝墜地，其分王者死。一云：被迫殺。一云：其分大亂，流血為災，一云：赤旱千里，百泉枯涸，王者受戮。

A falling meteorite shining brightly in the evening indicates that there will be a great military uprising in the region corresponding to where the meteorite fell. Another interpretation suggests the appearance of a dominant king, leading to bloodshed and disaster. Yet another view is that a plague will cause disaster in that region. If six or seven meteors fall at the same time during the day, it signifies the death of the king in the corresponding region. It may also mean the king is killed by force, or that the region experiences great chaos, bloodshed, and disaster. Another interpretation is that the land becomes barren, drought spreads widely, all springs dry up, and the king is executed.

流星晝落作聲，野雉皆鳴，群鳥盡驚者，所墜之分，主大兵起，大戰流血，漬骨如山，血流溝壑，王者大憂，遠期三年，中期一年，近期百日。流星赫奕翳日者，王者被殺，期一百日，無光者，期十日。

A falling meteor that is visible in the daytime and produces a sound, causing wildfowl to cry and birds to fly in alarm, indicates that in the region corresponding to the fallen star, there will be a great army rising, a major battle with much bloodshed, mountains of corpses, blood filling the ditches, and the king will have great worries. The fulfillment of this omen will occur in three years, one year, or one hundred days, depending on how distant or close the event is. If the meteor's flame is bright and covers the sunlight, it indicates the king will be killed, and the fulfillment will occur in one hundred days. If the meteor itself has no light, the fulfillment will occur in ten days.

流星入漢，八角散者，帝王欲發大使，慰宣四方。一云：八道賊起，欲散他邑。一云：欲有卿相，走投外國。流星沖月，大臣有事，陟貶之兆，遠則一百日，近十日。流星沖月透者，大臣被殺，王者受戮，太子王也。

A falling star entering the Milky Way, with its bright tip scattering in all directions, indicates that the emperor will send envoys to pacify and announce orders to all directions. Another interpretation suggests that bandits will rise up in all directions, spreading to other cities. Yet another view is that there will be the departure of high officials to foreign countries. A falling star directly approaching the moon signifies affairs involving ministers, indicating promotion or demotion, with the outcome occurring within ten days or up to a hundred days. If a falling star collides with the moon and passes through it, it signifies the death of a minister and the emperor, with the crown prince succeeding to the throne.

流星白色沖月者，皇后憂；赤色沖月者，皇后病。一云：後宮口舌大起，王者大怒。流星蔽月光者，欲有大使至他國，宣揚帝德。流星雙貫月者，宰相將被殺，大兵起，公卿受死。

A white meteor streaking towards the moon indicates trouble for the empress. A red meteor streaking towards the moon suggests the empress is ill; another interpretation says there will be great disputes among the concubines, causing the king to become enraged. If a meteor obscures the moon's light, it signifies that a high-ranking envoy will be sent to another country to proclaim the emperor's virtue. If two meteors pass through the moon together, it indicates that a prime minister will be executed, large-scale military action will occur, and high-ranking officials will be put to death.

流星五色映天，奪月光者，帝有大使發。流星赤光，前方後銳，映天者，公卿宰相謀國，陰兵起，王者失邦，天下荒亂。流星四面，一時刺月，臣殺其君，子殺其父，大兵起。一云：四方有使還，使叛心離上。

A meteor shower with five colors shining across the sky, its light surpassing the moon's, indicates that the emperor will send envoys on a mission. A meteor emitting red light, with a square front and a sharp end shining across the sky, signifies that ministers and high officials plot to seize power, secretly raising armies, causing the king to lose his territory and chaos throughout the land. If meteors strike the moon from all four directions, it foretells that ministers will kill the sovereign, sons will kill their fathers, and large-scale warfare will break out; alternatively, it may mean that envoys from all four directions return, but they carry rebellious intentions and turn their backs on the sovereign.

凡五星自流者，所主之分國荒，人民相殘，帝王奔走徙野，必有敗國。其五星若流於有福之鄉，聖人見矣。流於無福之鄉，將受其辱，主受其殃，破國滅亡，天地翻改，不可不察。

If the five planets move like shooting stars, it indicates that the country corresponding to their governing area will suffer from devastation and chaos, with people killing each other. The emperor will flee and migrate into the wilderness, inevitably leading to the downfall of the state. If the five planets move like shooting stars to a fortunate direction, it signifies the emergence of a sage. However, if they move to an unfavourable direction, generals and ministers will suffer disgrace, the sovereign will face calamity, the country and family will be ruined, and the heavens and earth will undergo great transformation. It is essential to examine this clearly.

流星與歲星斗光卻偃者，其分君被使辱，使受其戮。一云：使半路被殺。一云：國君振雄，鄰國悉辱。流星赤，直繞刺木，其分使被戮。一雲病死。

A meteor streaking and clashing with the planet Jupiter (the Wood Star) and then retreating indicates that the ruler of the corresponding region will be insulted by an envoy, and the envoy will also be executed. Another interpretation suggests the envoy is killed on the way. Yet another view holds that the king's prestige will greatly increase, causing neighboring states to suffer humiliation. If the meteor is red and directly circles around and pierces Jupiter, it signifies that the envoy from the corresponding region will be executed. Another interpretation suggests the envoy dies of illness.

流星黃潤行緩，頭尾直，端去木一二寸滅。此分君有福，鄰國來賓，主霸國，此名霸王之使也。流星沖火者，其分君有福；光影熒惑者，國有大使至。此雄猛之使也，必有姦淫之意，宜審察之。

A yellow and bright meteor moving slowly with a straight head and tail, which extinguishes near the wood star at a distance of one or two inches, indicates that the ruler of the corresponding region will have good fortune, neighboring states will send envoys to pay homage, and the country will become dominant, this is called the 'Ambassador of the Hegemon'. If a meteor directly approaches the Mars star (Flame Star), it indicates that the ruler of the corresponding region will have good fortune; if the light and shadow reach the Flame Star, it indicates that a great envoy will arrive from within the country. This is the 'Mighty Ambassador', who must surely harbor malicious and licentious intentions, and should be carefully examined.

流星穿火過，火無光，其分君死國荒。流星與土相犯者，外國有奸人入國。一云：夷狄來賓。流星來抵土星，其土星光潤，其分君有福，國昌主霸，邦寧。

A falling star passing through the Malefic of violence causes it to lose its brilliance, indicating the death of the ruler in the region associated with the Malefic of violence and the desolation of the land. If a falling star conflicts with the planet of earth (the planet of stability), it signifies the infiltration of a traitor from another country into the homeland; alternatively, it may indicate the arrival of barbarians to pay homage. If a falling star approaches the planet of earth and the planet of earth shines brightly, it indicates the ruler in the associated region will have good fortune, the country will flourish, the ruler will dominate, and the borders will be peaceful.

A falling star that invades the bright star of metal (Jupiter) and causes it to lose its light indicates worry for the general; another interpretation is the death of a major general and a great defeat for the army.

流星犯辰星，帝王霸，德令施四方，水官憂。一云，大水至。辰星被流星奪其光者，外有使欲行直言。一云：使回振德。

A meteor striking the planet of water (Chen Xing) indicates that the emperor will dominate, his benevolence and commands will be carried out throughout the land, but officials in charge of water will have worries; another interpretation suggests a great flood is coming.
